10
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.640
John ed Heidi Show on a Monday. Excited for a whole new week.

11
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:49.960
It's supposed to be little warmer this
week, which I kind of like.

12
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.719
I'm not a big fan of the
cold, cold, cold, cold weather.

13
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.840
So for those of you who really
really like this stuff, I don't

14
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.840
know, you got it? You
can have mine too. And here's the

15
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.159
other thing I don't understand. I
see people, like last week when it

16
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.359
was way too cold to be outside, I see people out for walks.

17
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.879
What I don't even go for a
walk when it's sixty five and sunny.

18
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.560
I can't imagine going for a walk
when it's twenty below zero. But again,

19
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.519
if if that's who you are and
that's what you love, I guess

20
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.200
you are you are in for a
treat when it gets chilly. But I

21
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.439
think we're supposed to have a pretty
decent week this week. We'll keep on

22
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.799
listening for an update from Sioux fallsweather
dot com. And we've got an update

23
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.959
from Brent Baker. We had gone
through like a big long list of things

24
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.319
and we wrapped that up last week. It was realtor terms and terms I

25
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.799
had to do with real estate.
Today we're gonna chat with them about something

26
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.640
completely different, So I don't know
what, but something. We'll do that

27
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.480
here in a bit. Thank you
for listening to the John ed Heidi Show.

28
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:51.959
Bonus hour Insurance. It's important to
have insurance, but it's more important

29
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.719
to have the right insurance. After
all, if you're not covered, it's

30
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.760
like not even having insurance. Make
sure you're covered for whatever I might come

listening to the John ed Heidi Show on

35
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.080
a Monday. We've got Brent Baker
in the studio. How are you,

36
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.240
sir? I am warm as long
as i'm indoors. Yeah, this time

37
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:28.120
of year gets a little chilly outside, but the good news is we're always

38
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.680
nice and cozy inside. So we're
going to talk today. Brent is a

39
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:37.280
real estate professional with clients First Group
at Keller Williams. And how long have

40
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:43.360
you been a realtor? By the
way, A long time? So do

41
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.080
you have any idea how many homes
you've helped buy? And I don't.

42
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.439
I really don't. I should?
I should? You know, go through

43
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.199
and figure that out. Yeah,
I started when I was ten. Well,

44
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.599
he's been doing it a while and
you are a trusted voice when it

45
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.280
comes to that. Not only does
Brent advertise with us here at the radio,

46
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.400
but he's also our realtor when we
bought a home, when we sold

47
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.840
a home, we worked with Brent
and we have him come in. We

48
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.000
try to have you every money.
It doesn't always work out every Monday,

49
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.759
but we try to have you every
money to talk about something to do with

50
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.159
the real estate market. And today
we're going to kind of go through some

51
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:19.000
things about empowering home buyer clients with
disabilities. And this is something that when

52
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.479
you're looking for a real estate professional
somebody to help you. Of course I

53
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.360
suggest people just you know, make
it an easy call and call and talk

54
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.960
to you. But these are things
that they should be looking for to make

55
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:30.240
sure they're working with somebody that's going
to take good care of them, right

56
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:38.759
correct. Disabilities come in a variety
of types. Of course, you know,

57
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.759
I had a grandfather who was blind
in one eye due to a farm

58
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:51.719
accident. Other family members disabled either
by illness or accidents. And we have

59
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.560
this common thing that, oh,
when we see a ramp or you know,

60
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.000
doors have to be a certain width
in commercial buildings, also for just

61
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:05.639
public transportation, but also when you
look in go into a nursing home or

62
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.879
a hospital and look at where the
light switches are in the bathrooms, they're

63
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:15.680
at a different height. Everything has
to be configured for people in a wheelchair,

64
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:19.240
and you know, wheelchairs take up
space, so you need wider doors,

65
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:24.959
you need room to turn it.
But that doesn't mean that they're always

66
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.680
limited. I have a past client. I tease him at church. You

67
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.079
would think he would be really clumsy
with that wheelchair. I have seen him

68
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.800
shoot that through some pretty narrow openings. Nice ye, pretty good speed.

69
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:45.319
But there are some laws that I
suppose when people are building a home and

70
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.720
when they're putting things together. But
are there laws as far as like for

71
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.079
a realtor that you guys need to
be aware of when you're as a realtor

72
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:59.199
for that particular category. Not so
much laws, it's really you want to

73
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.040
be aware of what's out there and
what benefits and really ask questions of that

74
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:11.279
person needing that facility. You know, what are your limitations? Some people

75
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.879
you know don't walk well, so
they use a walker. I have a

76
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:20.199
past client who you know has fallen
and done a lot of bodily damage for

77
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:28.120
her having the ability to move around
just in bigger spaces in general. But

78
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.560
also it's the height of the light
switch. It's no step entry from her

79
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:40.439
garage into her house. Sometimes we
need automatic lights because their hands don't work

80
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:45.160
anymore, so you need those motion
sensor type things. So it's really asking

81
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.879
the question of what are your specific
needs or the needs of your child,

82
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:56.279
And some of that could also probably
even go to like the showing this time

83
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.800
of year with you know, the
sidewalks and driveways and things away they are

84
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.399
has some limited mobility issues that that
could probably play in, as well as

85
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.639
even the time of day, you
know, if they're coming out to see

86
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.360
something when it's too early or too
late. So I'm sure there's some issues

87
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:15.600
like that as well. Correct winter
always makes a challenge for everybody, whether

88
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.800
you're a seller or a buyer,
but that's when you become very aware of

89
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:27.560
slippery conditions, steep driveways, that
type of thing. From my perspective in

90
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:33.439
my years of experience, it's really
assess the situation. What are their needs?

91
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:39.079
And that doesn't mean my assumption,
because my assumption is probably going to

92
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:44.439
be wrong or skewed, but asking
the question, like I said earlier,

93
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:49.160
what are your needs? What is
it about that feature or amenity that improves

94
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:55.199
your life? And then some of
the homes might not be quite there right

95
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.519
now, but being able to look
at that and say, with this minor

96
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.439
modification, you could pretty easy make
this, but there might be some that

97
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.680
you go there's probably just not going
to be a way this is going to

98
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:10.560
work at all correct, And sometimes
it just means approaching the builder and saying,

99
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:15.959
can we do this, And if
it's early enough in the building process,

100
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.720
say a building a house that's are
currently creating, that we can probably

101
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.480
have some things done. So say
in the early stage of a townhouse,

102
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.079
we need the light switch is a
little lower. Can you do this?

103
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:34.720
And if it's done early enough,
then everything can be adjusted. And most

104
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:41.160
of the builders are pretty willing to
work with you because they understand that people

105
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.439
have needs and some of that can
be done when you're building. There's also

106
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.160
a lot of aftermarket stuff that's available. So if somebody maybe is in a

107
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.639
situation where now I might need some
additional things in the bathroom to help or

108
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.879
whatever, that's all stuff that can
probably be added for the most part later

109
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.120
as well. Can it most stuff? But some things grab handles and so

110
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:07.879
forth. If you go into a
typical bathtub shower combo, the backing isn't

111
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:15.399
there those fiberglass surrounds, you know, they're they're not meant for weight.

112
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.319
Yeah, so the framing isn't there
that you can just add grab handles wherever

113
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:26.480
you want. Nice, So sometimes
we have to reach out to people in

114
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.800
different fields, and that's where networking
with other fields is really important. And

115
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.639
it's good to know somebody who knows
people, and Brent knows everybody so well,

116
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.440
not everybody. But if somebody listening
does not know you, but they

117
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.960
would like to get to know you
because they're maybe wanting to buy a home

118
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.360
or sell a home, what is
the best way for them to connect with

119
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:50.559
you. I can be reached at

Falls History. Brought to you by

the Sup Falls Fun Page, West
Sue Studios and Sunday ninety three point three.

133
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.919
It was on this day, January
twenty second, nineteen sixty seven.

134
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:56.600
Former Augustana College Vikings halfback Les Josephson
is voted to and plays in the NFL

135
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.960
Pro Bowl. Josephson was a standout
at Augustana After being picked up by the

136
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.080
Los Angeles Rams in nineteen sixty four, he'd remain with that team for ten

137
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.799
seasons. His best season came in
nineteen sixty seven, when he rushed for

138
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.919
over eight hundred yards. In a
career plagued by injuries, less was still

139
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.000
able to make himself a fixture of
the Rams offense for nearly a decade.

140
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.519
Upon his retirement, his three thousand, four hundred and seven rushing yards put

141
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.399
him at third place on the Rams
all time rushing leader list. Joe Soisson

142
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.639
would go on to do some acting
out in Los Angeles after football. This
